Sexism in the prosthetic industry is still a thing, and it's impacting both patients and female practitioners. Even though women now make up 48% of orthotic practitioners and 25% of prosthetic practitioners, they’re still facing serious challenges. In this post, we break down the stats and hear from Lauren Houle, a female prosthetist, on what it’s like to deal with these issues every day. Check out her take on how we can push for better inclusivity and care. #Prosthetics #WomenInHealthcare #HealthcareEquality #InclusionMatters #BionicSkins #TheScienceOfComfort #sexism

This article really hits home for me as not only a patient but someone who works in the medical industry. I can't tell you how many times I've been put off or gaslit by a male practitioner. That of course doesn't mean they're all like this, but it doesn't fix the problem if we don't start realizing patients have different needs. I look forward to a more inclusive, equitable, and accessible #Medical industry.

The #LGBTQIA+ movement has come to represent acceptance, freedom and self-expression. However, #transgender and gender-diverse communities in particular are in need of support and care from medical professionals, and those in #aesthetics specifically, in the form of gender-affirming care and treatments aimed at aligning gender expression and identity. In our January/February 2024 profile feature, we spoke to Bianca Viscomi, M.D., about her mission to liberate transgender patients' voices, dreams and identities through aesthetics. https://ow.ly/KbVa50QHUCF #patientcare #aestheticmedicine #patientsafety #selfconfidence

Solidarity with these brave female nurses taking action against their Trust for being forced to share supposedly single-sex changing facilities with a biological male. The situation described in this piece is sickening. The response reported by HR here is so very lacking and fails to recognise the conflicts of rights under the Equality Act and the rights to single-sex facilities. It lacks any empathy for these women. However, if they’re following the current CIPD guidance on trans and non-binary inclusion, where anyone can identify into a single-sex space, this is the result: legal action. #SexNotGender #EqualityAct #HumanResources #HR https://lnkd.in/eQub5ATr
